regarding cpu frequency and cpu load

Hi,

I am using VAYU-EVM (TDA2xx) development board, running TI-GLSDK. TDA2xx-evm has dual core Cortex-A15 ( max frequency is 750Mhz) processor.

I queried the current cpu frequency while each core is fully loaded. The result is 1500000 (1.5 Ghz) for both cores with 50% load on each CPU as shown in below snapshot.

Is 50% of load while running with 1.5Ghz mean each core is running with 750Mhz frequency (that is 50% of 1.5Ghz)? (OR) Is each cpu core running with 1.5Ghz frequency?
       
Thanks,
Yugandhar.
  • Hi,

    The cpuinfo_cur_freq shows the frequency of each CPU core. So in your case each cpu is running @1.5 GHz.

  • Hi Yugandhar,

    GLSDK release doesnt support TDA2xx device and is not tested on the same.

    SInce TDA2xx based on J6 device, it works as is but you need to modify the U-Boot and Kernel (dts) to provide correct Operating performance points (OPP- frequency and voltage) as per Data manual.

    As you havent update the OPPs as per data manual you are forcing each A15 core to run 1.5GHz whihc is the J6 /DRA7xx device configuration.

    Note that you are running device out of spec'd operating conditions which could lead to non-repairable damage to the device.

    I recommend you seek help in configuring teh OPPs as per data manual otherwise you'll damage the device.
